    Author: Dubé L, Daenen S, Kouatchet A, Soltner C, Alquier P.
    Journal: Ann Fr Anesth Reanim; 2001 Dec; 20(10):860-4. PubMed ID: 11803847.
    Abstract:
    Metabolic alkalosis is frequently observed in critically ill patients. Etiologies are numerous but endocrinal causes are rare. We report a case of a patient with severe respiratory insufficiency, metabolic alkalosis and hypokalemia. The evolution was fatal. Further explorations revealed an ectopic Adrenocorticotropine Hormone syndrome. The initial tumor was probably a small cell lung carcinoma.
